Taking a shine



For more than a decade, Sloanebuilt Trailers has relied on PPG’s suite of paints and coatings as part of its trailer building process; the manufacturer is adamant that it has seen a great improvement with production efficiency due to the products’ ease of use. Sloanebuilt has become even more confident with its reliance on the PPG product range, as well as its exceptional quality, following its use of PPG’s Wet-on-Wet system.

       
“The Wet-on-Wet process starts with chassis and parts being sandblasted onsite then painted as a Wet-on-Wet process with epoxy and finished with polythane topcoat,” Sloanebuilt says. “The Wet-on-Wet process has seen a regular combination of two-pack epoxy and PPG top coats utilised on jobs, depending on the scope of work, to ensure consistent finishes for all trailers that roll out of our factory.”
